Unit tests for SSU

[SiameseCat]

I've been thinking about adding some unit tests for SSU. Does anyone have any comments or objections? Also, can anyone recommend a C++ testing framework? I've been thinking of using Google test.

No objections, I would suggest the same, but I have not yet found any framework, that also works well with Orbiter. I think we need our own framework there, unless you want to limit the tests to the libUltra stuff, that works without orbiter running.

For the moment, I'm planning to stick to libUltra, without trying to handle Orbiter as well.

I haven't got a clue, what you're talking about, so no objection here either.:lol:

CppUnit is another xUnit system, open source in C++. I use it for Orbiter C++ code testing.

Unit tests are a tool to automatically test if all interfaces of a unit (class, library, subsystem, etc) work properly to the specifications.

In software development, they are a common tool to improve the quality of the software a lot and prevent problems with backwards compatibility.

Cool ! Thanks for explaining.
